I’m a Genius Idol but my Passive is Sunfish – Chapter 21

Author: LyraDhani

– Today, this is where I lie down today…ㅇ<-<

– Baekya and Yooyeon and a chick……sob…sob sob..

– Shiyoon-nim, can’t you give us that chick instead of the chicken coupon?ㅠㅠ

– So cute lol why is Shiyoon so excited

Comments poured in by the dozens every second. Even the writers, monitoring the live reactions, were enjoying themselves. As the first broadcast of the new year, it was a smooth and cheerful start.

[Baekya: Answer! It’s a doll!]

[Shiyoon: I said you have to guess what kind of doll it is. Now, the time is now passing 15 seconds.]

[Yooyeon: Yooyeon! A teddy bear?]

[Shiyoon: A teddy bear! Incorrect~]

Shiyoon was delighted as he watched the rapidly decreasing stopwatch.

On the other hand, Yooyeon and Baekya were getting anxious as time went on. After the teddy bear, a party of incorrect answers followed, such as a dog, a rabbit, and a cat.

The members who had initially cheered them on were now simply enjoying the chaos, especially Minseong and Jihan, who had already succeeded.

[Yooyeon: Aaaah. What on earth is this?]

[Baekya: Hey…! Stick close!]

As Yooyeon tilted his head the other way, the chick plush began to slip. Startled, Baekya pressed his face close and scolded him.

– Kyaaang!!! The Maltese just bit lol

– I should have been born as a chick doll….

– I want to die squished in those dimplesㅠ

– We don’t need to eat chicken, so just let us keep watchingㅜㅜ

– 1 minute is too short, sob sob (tears)

In the end, the time limit was exceeded.

As Shiyoon shouted ‘failure’, Yooyeon and Baekya took off their blindfolds. And what entered their eyes was a yellow chick doll.

Chirp, chirp.

[Baekya: A chick…]

[Yooyeon: Ah…]

[Shiyoon: You two, please wait over there for your penalty. Let’s have the last team Yulmu and Cheong.]

The third challenge continued. Yulmu and Cheong were also wearing rabbit blindfolds. The last object appeared between their faces, and… the third object was a piece of A4 paper.

The playful Shiyoon gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

I did a good job, right?

A face that seemed to be asking for praise was directed at the lens.

[Shiyoon: This object is a little small. You’ll have to put your faces close together.]

At Shiyoon’s words, Yulmu and Cheong answered loudly. The stopwatch was pressed immediately with the start sound.

A thin piece of A4 paper was held out between their faces. The clueless Yulmu and Cheong pressed their faces close together, but no matter how close they got, they couldn’t feel the object.

[Yulmu: Is there anything there?]

[Shiyoon: Yes. I think you’ll have to come a little closer.]

At those words, Cheong shoves his face forward. With a flapping sound, Yulmu and Cheong’s faces were pressed together with 0.1mm between them. Not just the chat window, but the studio was in chaos.

But that moment was truly fleeting.

[Cheong: Cheong! Paper?]

[Yulmu: A4 paper!]

[Shiyoon: Correct! DASE gets five more chicken coupons.]

It was because the paper had flapped and made a rather loud sound the moment their faces were pressed together. Yulmu and Cheong removed their blindfolds, high-fived, and gave each other thumbs-up.

Only two people couldn’t celebrate. Yooyeon and Baekya, who hadn’t gotten the chicken, had to look at the four with their lips tightly shut. With eyes full of envy.

[Shiyoon: In that case, you’ve obtained a total of ten coupons. The only team that failed, Yooyeon and Baekya’s team. It’s time for your penalty~]

He said it was a shame, but Shiyoon was enjoying it more than anyone.

The two froze at the word ‘penalty.’ Shiyoon said there was no need to be so nervous, and that the penalty was simpler than they thought.

[Shiyoon: It’s simple. Sexy dance and aegyo! You just have to choose one and show it. You can’t perform the same penalty. And the person who chooses first will have an advantage, right?]

At the revealed penalty, the members, except for the two, were excited.

[Yulmu: Pfft!]

Among them, Yulmu’s voice was the loudest.

‘Oh my god.’

Baekya’s pupils were shaking wildly. On the other hand, Yooyeon had a relieved expression after confirming the penalty.

Their opposite reactions only heightened anticipation.

[Yooyeon: I’ll go with the sexy dance.]

Yooyeon, who even asked if they would choose the song for him and requested a very sultry song, was proactive.

Already on his feet, he walked to a more open space to wait for the music. A thrilled Shiyoon hyped it up, saying this was exactly what rookie spirit looked like.

Following that, the requested sultry accompaniment flowed out.

– Holy crap, hot sexy dynamite

– Oh lord… he’s crazy….

– Mom, he’s flirting with meㅠㅠㅠ look at his expression, he must be crazyㅠㅠ

– I thought the dimple friend was innocent, but he’s a real vixen… I love it^^

The reaction was explosive.

Cheong and Yulmu whistled. Minseong and Shiyoon cheered loudly. The only one who couldn’t smile was Baekya.

[Baekya: Isn’t that too sexy?]

When the main dancer did it, even a silly penalty looked impressive. Watching him only made Baekya more nervous.

‘In that case, do I have to do aegyo?’

The only option left was aegyo. Baekya, who had squeezed his eyes shut at the ending music, clenched his fists. And he hypnotized himself.

‘I am cute. I am cute. I will be cute.’

The music was over. His turn was right around the corner.

[Shiyoon: Then Mr. Baekya, are you ready?]

[Baekya: …Yes!]

At his tightly clenched fists, the chat window was already in an uproar with reactions saying he was cute.

[Shiyoon: You can start right away when you’re ready.]

[Baekya: I, one, two, three…]

But as a rookie, he had demands. At his request for a count with a desperate gaze, Minseong stepped up.

[Minseong: I’ll do it for you. Ready?]

Pursed lips.

Baekya nodded with a determined face.

[Minseong: One, two, three!]

[Baekya: Ang!]

The so-called ‘biting heart.’

He joined both hands, touching thumbs and index fingers to form a circle, opened his mouth in an ‘ah’, then went ‘ang!’ as if biting down. The way his hands squished into a heart shape was the key point.

A silence fell on the studio, and the chat window also stopped for a moment.

‘Did I screw up?’

Baekya, who had closed his eyes while making the heart shape with his hands.

Usually, they would have responded, even if it was just out of appreciation for his effort, but this was too quiet. Baekya pouted without realizing it. His face flushed as if it would burst at the slightest touch.

But the expected reaction came out a little late. With the screams of the writers outside the studio.

[Shiyoon: Oh my god… that’s so cute?]

[Jihan: He has a talent for it.]

[Yulmu: Did you see that, everyone?! This is the special move of our DASE’s official mascot!]

[Yooyeon: It would have been a disaster if I had done aegyo…]

[Minseong: From now on, we can just make Baekya do aegyo.]

[Cheong: Baekya is cute!]

The reaction to the creative aegyo was explosive.

This was a move that had become a hot topic when Baekya was in the army, before he was synchronized into the game, and it was an aegyo that a member of a certain girl group had first shown.

Furthermore, it would later become an essential aegyo that an idol had to do at least once, but this was slightly earlier than that time.

Therefore, Baekya had just become the creator of the biting heart.

– Aaaah!!!! What on earth is that?!?!!

– Kyaaaang ugh ah ah ah ng

– Our soft peach was actually a fox…. a fox…

– Wow.. a genius.. he’s a genius….

After that, Baekya had to do the biting heart about three more times before he could be released. He felt like he was going to die of shame from the embarrassment, but he had gained something from it, so it was a small relief.

[Q. I’m going to make it big! (2): Achieve 3 aegyo!

▷Personal Talent: 1/5

▷Aegyo: 4/5

▷Cuteness: 0/5

※ Time remaining: 25 days]

DASE, who had created a huge number of GIFs, successfully finished their first radio broadcast.

But the biting heart that Baekya had shot up was just the beginning…

A waiting room interview for a music show. It was a corner to introduce a newly debuted rookie group.

“For your day! Hello. This is DASE!”

DASE shouted their team slogan with full energy. The MCs greeted them warmly.

“I heard today is your 10th day since debut. Please share your thoughts on your debut and a greeting for your fans.”

Jihan, who was standing close to the MC, took the microphone first.

“Yes. I’m really nervous and trembling. But since this is a debut we’ve waited for so long, we prepared really hard. I hope you’ll look upon us kindly.”

The MC’s questions continued.

At the question of what the team name DASE means, this time Minseong took the microphone.

“Our team name DASE is a name created by combining ‘Day,’ which means everyday life, and ‘Serendipity,’ which means unexpected joy, and it holds the meaning of a piece of luck that appeared suddenly one day.”

Stiff shoulders and a breath that clearly showed he had memorized it. It was an answer that showed the freshness of a rookie. After that, Yulmu introduced the song, and Yooyeon and Cheong came forward to briefly show the point choreography.

Lastly, the MC mentioned their Imjingak debut stage. He looked at one person, saying that DASE was always at the center of attention these days.

Of course, the star was Baekya.

“He’s the one who’s called the creator of the so-called ‘biting heart.’ Mr. Baekya. Could we ask you to introduce the next song with that gesture?”

Haha. Of course.

Baekya raised the corners of his lips with all his might. He had to smile, no matter what.

“Yes. The powerful group dance-dols BB9 and Nice, who have returned with a winter song, are preparing. But before that, let’s meet the stage of Violet, which is full of a purple scent! (Ang)”

Baekya, who had made the biting heart, and the members who were trying to hold back their laughter as they looked at him, were captured on screen.

The <Heart Attack Inducer(B)> skill was going berserk.
